TACKLING EMISSIONS: A THREE-PRONGED APPROACH BY NOxProtekt, RODENG AND NOxTech For many, both on a personal and professional level, the COVID-19 pandemic has raised challenges that simply must be overcome in order to continue business as close to normal as possible. Like many others, NOxProtekt Ltd., along with partner organisations RODEng Consulting LLP and NOxTech Ltd. have been learning to adapt to these times in order to continue their mission of helping clients reduce their generating plant emissions, meet their Environment Agency Permitting requirements, and deliver high performing projects on time and on budget. NOxProtekt Ltd. produces bespoke turnkey SCR solutions to a well-established client base. Having installed over 300 units in the UK alone since 2017, they are one of the leading suppliers of such equipment in the UK and Ireland. Their success has not only been due to an inherent demand for their products, driven mostly by Environment Agency emissions permitting regulations (in turn arising from the Medium Combustion Plant Directive) but also partly through a strong desire within wellestablished industry clients whose Corporate values insist on the utilisation of best available technology solutions and right-first-time project goal delivery. In addition to this market demand, NOxProtekt has flourished through a holistic approach to every project and the strong partnership with RODEng and NOxTech; “We do not have a discrete set of SCR models”, states John Moore (NOxProtekt Ltd. Technical Director), “we instead design a completely bespoke offering that is tailored to the parameters for each project. The sites are individual, as are our products.”
Indeed, a list of different SCR models is simply not found on the NOxProtekt Ltd website., nor will a salesman call to run through a list of discrete product size options from a brochure. Primarily through industry recommendations and a proven success rate on previous projects, NOxProtekt Ltd. instead engages with their clients on a case-by-case basis, working closely at all levels of plant operation and maintenance during initial consultations and site visits, to design cost optimised, cleansheet offerings that not only deliver classleading emissions reduction performance and reliability time and again, but also guarantees the performance and protection of the generating sets regardless of application.
experience that NOxProtekt draws from to deliver a three-pronged approach to their overall solution. Close collaboration with the two partner organisations, RODEng, Consulting LLP and NOxTech Ltd. bring a wealth of engineering excellence to the fore, with specialist knowledge of design, performance and application of generating sets through team contributors such as Jonathan Rodgers (22 years leading expert in the generating set industry offering specialist consultancy), Andy Greer (23 years in the power generation industry, applications and regulatory compliance), Pete Fox (21 years in the generating set industry, sales, operations, procurement and project management).
“We focus on protecting our client’s existing assets equally as much as we focus on the direct task of reducing emissions from the plant. We understand the critical role the generating set plays and we have a deep understanding of how the gensets work and perform. We know the consequences of not understanding all of the possible indirect and periphery issues that could turn out to be very costly to our clients, so we ensure that our equipment is fit for purpose and the complete system exceeds goals and expectations in every way” – Jonathan Rodgers, NOxProtekt Operations Director.
Indeed, every ounce of this experience has been called up over the past year to maintain resilience within the emerging landscape of travel restrictions, parts and materials shortages, absent staff within suppliers and clients (either through furlough or isolating) and increasing supply chain costs. Despite these challenges, NOxProtekt have remained incredibly busy and retained its’ position as a strong player in the market.
NOxProtekt has an abundance of expertise in the area Selective Catalytic Reduction, drawing from many years of deep expertise in this field. John Moore’s origins within Johnston Matthey, pioneers of SCR technology, and other leading companies within this field brings a wealth of specialist catalyst knowledge to the NOxProtekt team.
